Naked Has Never Looked This Good. Naked Josh returns for third season on Showcas Programming Highlights / Showcase Posted by RAD on Apr 01, 2006 - 12:00 AM The university years are a time to discover personal confidence, experiment with the dating scene and indulge in new sexual experiences – and not just for students! In the third season of Naked Josh, sexual anthropology professor Josh Gould (played by Montréaler David Julian Hirsh of CSI: New York and the Gemini-award winning film Camp Hollywood) continues to teach his students the science of sexual behaviour by day, and finds himself testing his theories by night. The third season of the Showcase Original series Naked Josh airs Tuesdays at 9:30 pm ET/PT beginning May 16, 2006, immediately following Trailer Park Boys. Naked Josh follows Professor Josh Gould in this sizzling romantic comedy as he experiments with friendship and romance in Montreal. A successful Oxford graduate boasting a PhD, Josh is not only brilliant and well-respected in his field, but also the youngest anthropology professor ever hired at his university. But when it comes to mastering the art of relationships, he still has a lot to learn. In the third season, Josh is no longer concerned with the notion of finding true love – at least, not on the surface. A modern man, he is ready to challenge his own personal boundaries and continues to demonstrate his knack for finding himself in compromising situations. Josh dives head first into the brave new worlds of mutual infidelities, high-class call girls, and life-like blow-up dolls, trying to find love – or at least a date for the weekend. In episode one of Season Three, with the opportunity of a promotion approaching, Josh finds himself flirting with temptation – more specifically, with his boss’ fiancée. He knows it’s potentially a career-limiting move, especially with arch-rival Professor Audrey Habedian (Claudia Ferri, Mambo Italiano) lurking around, but Josh can’t resist the lure of passion and finds himself with his pants down around his ankles in a bathroom stall. Cast regular Andrew Tarbet (Bliss, Walking Tall) reprises his role as Josh’s commitment-phobic best friend, Eric, along with Patricia McKenzie (Charlie Jade) as fearless lesbian bar manager Jenn, and Sarah Smyth (Vampire High), who returns as Josh’s ambitious research assistant Natalie. Season three guest stars include Tara Spencer-Nairn (Corner Gas), Peter MacNeill (A History of Violence, Queer As Folk) and Waneta Storms (The Eleventh Hour). Executive produced by André Béraud, Jacques Blain, Richard Speer and Josée Vallée of Cirrus Communications (producers of C.R.A.Z.Y), Naked Josh – Cirrus’s first English-language production – was co-created by Alex Epstein and Laura Kosterski and written by Co-executive Producer Laura Kosterski and Executive Story Editor Rob Sheridan. Additional writers are Karen Hill and Doug Taylor. The series was directed by James Allodi (Uncles, Paradise Falls) and Tim Southam (One Dead Indian, Trudeau II). Naked Josh has been nominated for a 2006 Monte-Carlo Television Festival Award for Best Comedy and two 2006 Canadian Screenwriter Awards (Writer’s Guild of Canada). The series has been successfully sold around the world and is airing in the following territories: Spain, Israel, Australia, France, South Africa, Brazil, South Korea and Italy, and in Quebec on SRC.
